If you added the word sprouts in there, youâd have managed to squeeze two of the most boring things ever into 1 sentence

Where was that? I had tickets to see them in Berlin pre pandemic. Wasnât rescheduled. donât have any tickets to see them on the current tour now. How was it?
Madison Sq Garden, was brilliant, played everything I wanted to hear
Ah jaysus what a venue to see them in. Iconic. A couple of us were looking at going to see them in Spain, theyâre playing a rock festival in Marbella, Iâd go just to see them.

Sorry for your troubles
Do they still have the edge about them live?
The most danger to them these days comes from their own security.
Richard Ashcroft has more âfuck you, I wonât do what you tell meâ about him than RATM. Empty vessels really do make the most noise.
Filling up a 20,000-person arena in a city where COVID fears still have people wearing masks outside is no mean featâparticularly when the cheapest tickets cost just under $200. Itâs doubly impressive for a band that hasnât released a full-length album of original material this centuryâŚ
âŚBut if its music and performance have managed to stay fresh, Rageâs message canât help but feel rather stale and ordinary, given how politics has shaken out since its heydayâŚ

Mr Ashcroft had some brilliant songs, but did come across as an ego maniac in the early days.
I had a great night. Chris and the lads smashed it out of the park as always.
Iâve Gorillaz next week with my young lad. Coldplay have set a high bar there.

A preppy middle class law grad, well into his 30s and working for the government, flying abroad at a cost of âŹ500+ to see a band of pseudo anarcho-communist hypocrits, that incidentally havenât released new material in 23 years and counting, stick it to the man. The stupidity. The irony. But, irony is wasted on the stupid after all.

Most lads that grew up in the 90s would have been fans as teenagers, but most teenagers grow up. RATM are as fake a three dollar bill. Their original message has been cheapened, bit by bit, over the past two decades, and it went off a cliff over the past 2 years. There are better bands, with more relevant messages, that donât feel the need to charge $145 a ticket at a billionaireâs venue in Manhattan, while screaming âHereâs the plan; Motherfuck Uncle Sam!â
